Originally posted by vajuras hm, ranged combat in hellgate london---- I cant remember which class I was. think it was the Templar? But it was early E3 sample. flagship programmer I talked to said they wiped together some sample gameplay I think i had both a gun and a sword. So I'd shoot the demons and when they got close I'd cut them down. MAybe you saw a vid of the summoner type i did not play as that class will be the coop PvE MMO hybrid im looking for. they also got the vid of that samurai looking warrior which looks interesting
I jsut expect hellgate to be a really solid coop RPG to play with my buds casually. I dont expect much depth just good ole diablo style hack and slash. but havent checked their site in awhile maybe they added some crafting....
edit- they gave me the comic book at E3 it was so awesome. they got such a great background and the best videos. A lot of money pumped into it. you know its gotta be good guys because I really cant stand much PvE MMO these days but this really gonna have some good solid coop gameplay and nice use of dynamic content. will be instanced heavily but it will be appropriate cause its free to play or pay to help them develop expansions. im thinking ima be playing it kinda giving up on MMOs getting good PvP. gonna justhack and slash inhellgate.
Full Aiming and FPS type of stuff. its so much fun I miss it Seriously I never get excited about any PVE (unless its a coop RPG or single player RPG) but in hellgate man its just tooo awesome. demons invading the whole earth. apoloclypase and ppl dying everywhere. just blood and gore and its just violent as hell I cant wait guys its hella awesome. thanks for reminding me now I'm happy once again!!!!!!!
Yeah with Hellgate: London... you must not forget that it's no classical MMO.
It's the inofficial sequel to Diablo 2.
And if you try to remember the Gameplay at Diablo 2, it had one hell of the same mechanics:
Aiming Combat:
Shift-Click meant you launched your attack, if an enemy was near or not, the direction of your mouse decided where it launched. Same, and especially with Ranged Attacks.
Only with H:L it's translated to 3D.
And now, if you remember playing in Hell-difficulty as Sorceress or ranged Amazon, you kited melee enemies where possible, evaded ranged shots.
And I see EXACTLY that in the H:L Vids, too.
So if you liked Diablo 2, I think it's pretty much guaranteed you'll like H:L, too.
I'm not going to believe any MMORPG is the second coming until I see and experience it. Theres too much hype about any up and coming game and too many fanboy's/haters to get a good idea of what it's going to be like.
As long as its fun, and as long as I enjoy playing the game, then thats all that matters to be. Too many people chase after the next big thing, hype it, get all excited, then dissapointed, then hate it, then chase after the next big thing.
It's happening now with AOC and WAR. Too much hype over the games and people getting too excited, and you just know that some of them are going to be the ones which then attack it when it doesnt live up to the dream in their head.
I'm playing LOTRO, enjoying it. It's nothing special though. i'm keeping my eye on both AOC and WAR, but not really trying to find out everything single thing I can about the games. I might pick up one or both of them, as I fancy some PVP.

Dunno if it's new or old, though it was posted as a new vid a couple days ago on a different forum. Looks interesting enough.
